Response Time Checker / Glossary
Redirect time
The time spent on responses that only redirect (301, 302, 307, 308) before the final page. Each hop is a complete request, often with its own DNS lookup and TLS handshake.
How we measure it
The sum of the redirect hops' total times, per sample.
What good looks like
Zero on links and ads; at most one hop for a typed address (http:// to https:// on the final host).
How to improve it
- Link to the final URL everywhere (canonical host, https, trailing slash).
- Redirect http:// straight to the final https:// address in one hop.
Measure your site
Three cold samples, every phase, and a diagnosis of what is slow.
